Craziness and fun stuff

3/27/2012

Hello from-when is it ever going to end?!?! Sorry. I’ve
been up to a lot of procrastinating lately, and it’s catching up to me. I have
too much stuff to do!!!!! On the bright side, things will hopefully calm down
soon. I finish up classroom observations this week, so that will remove a lot of
  craziness. I love visiting elementary classrooms and being around the kids, but
  it adds to my already busy schedule and makes things even more hectic, so I’ll
  be glad to have one less thing to worry about. Also on the bright side, fun
  stuff happened this weekend! Jill, Amy, Nayab, and I went to see the Hunger
  Games on Friday, and it was AWESOME!!!!!! Seriously, it may very well be my
  favorite movie adaptation of a book ever. Not that that’s a very objective
  assessment. I did just see it, and I’m probably still pretty biased. But it was
  still really great. It would also appear that I answered AB’s question about
  most anticipated movies of 2012 a bit early- when we watched the movie, there
  were previews for so many movies that I want to see now! The Avengers, the new
  Spiderman (I wasn’t interested at first, seeing as the last adaptation just
  finished not too long ago, but it has cool actors and it looks pretty
  intriguing), and this hilarious-looking movie about Dads (What to expect when
  you’re expecting, or something? I think it’s gonna be pretty great) were all
  featured before the movie started, and they all look really cool and
stuff!

 Another cool thing I got to see this weekend was South
  Warren’s production of Crazy for You! I had never heard of it before I went to
  see it, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as Amber said, Alexis was in it,
  and I got to see it with Amber and Jill. And it was so good! Everybody did a
  great job with the singing and the acting, and it was really funny too. I
  wasn’t especially wishing to go back to the chaos of musical practice like
  Amber, but I did love seeing it, and I wish my sister would have been in it so
  I could have the DVD to watch… 

Oh, well. Maybe next year. So that was my week for the
most part: craziness and fun. So have some Question Tuesday!

 Favorite Question
  Tuesday question ever

 Well, I just looked back at all the questions I’ve
answered, and I really like answering the “too much” questions, but I have to
say that my all-time favorite was Amber’s question: “How
  rare is it for two people to like each other at the same time and actually do
  something about it?” I mean, for one thing, it’s a sappy subject and fun to
  think about, and for another, I was very happy for my mom and new step-dad 
 :)

If we have a right
to life, doesn't that mean we have a right to wave it away? Talking about
  euthanasia...

 I think history has shown that bad things happen when
humans take lives into their own hands, whether this is in the form of ending
your own life or someone else’s. Suicide is bad enough, but with euthanasia
someone else is helping another
person kill him/herself! I know I wouldn’t want to do
that...

 If you could paint a
  picture of any scenery you’ve seen before, what would you
paint?

 This is probably kind of weird, but we took a trip to
Gatlinburg (TN) back when I was in middle school to see family and stuffs, and
on the highway, we kept passing these clearings that were covered in Kudzu (the
  invasive ivy species that pretty much covers everything and that was, most
fortuitously, mentioned in a SciShow episode just yesterday! It’s so exciting
when the Green brothers and I talk about the same things!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDOwTXobJ3k&feature=g-u-u&context=G24eef3cFUAAAAAAABAA). I mean, I know Kudzu is bad
and all, and it kills trees and stuff, but it’s just so pretty! I mean, look at
this picture:

Drat, I can't make the picture go here! Technology hates me :( just look at the end of the blog, i guess...

 What would you name
  the autobiography of your life?

 At the moment, Crazytown is looking like a pretty good
  option.

Where's
Waldo?

 No one knows since he borrowed Harry’s invisibility cloak  :(
(I have a flair to prove it! :P )

Is 
a picture really worth a thousand
  words?

In fact, it is only worth 999. People are just lazy and
like to round up.
 Really, though, I tend not to subscribe to this
particular philosophy. I would much prefer a thousand word story to a single
measly picture. I guess I’m probably a little biased, though- I mean, you guys
have seen my attempts at “artwork” :P I’m sure there are plenty of people who
could spend well over a thousand words describing a single picture. I’m just not
one of them.

 I think that Jill has earned herself the right to
favorite of the week! I rather enjoyed her picture questions. So, yay Jill! 

Love, 

Sara

P.S.- can anyone tell me what's up with the formatting in the blog? I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it! Weebly is being so mean to me!!!!!!!

Kudzu: isn't is just so magical and beautiful?

You know there are nicer ways to respond to my blogs, right? Like, "Hey Sara, have you read my blog? I was just wondering, since you haven't posted a comment." Or "Hey, Sara, did you know that Kudzu is an invasive species? Oh, I just saw it in your blog. Nevermind!"

" I think history has shown that bad things happen when
humans take lives into their own hands." LOL. I don't know why that sounded so funny to me, but it did. But I know what you're saying.

Here's a hypothetical case:

Sally's grandmother has been suffering from a debilitating, painful disease for several years. It's come to the point at which she has to be hospitalized because her condition is critical. Sally's grandmother is in excruciating pain and has been told by doctors that there is no cure. Do you think she should be left to deal with the pain or appeal for assisted suicide?

Also, have you all stopped opening letters? Because it sounds like you didn't go to the midnight premiere, so...

Haha! Was that a letter? No, if we had time limits, you should mentioned it and also not given assignments that are impossible (and mean!) to complete. I never see Clark Kent anymore! I think we'll skip it and open the 5th one tonight

You can open 11 and 12 (there should be 3 12's--open each of yours alone/don't tell the others what your letter says)

Just so you know, I read this blog up until the part where you said my question was your all-time favorite so far and then just kind of melted when you talked about Mark. I'm going to go back to reading now. KThanksBye ;)
